I asked for the recipe and a few weeks later, the chef, whose name I can't remember, had it emailed to me. Here it is:

Framage Blanc Tomato Sorbet

Tomato Syrup:

100 g Tomato Juice
100 g sugar

Bring ingredients to boil allowing sugar to dissolve.

270 g Fromage Blanc
100 g Heavy Cream
200 g Tomato Syrup

Blend ingredients in ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions for sorbet.
If it had dairy it should have been called sherbet or sherbert not sorbet.
Sorbet has no dairy as you stated.
With the amounts of dairy that is in the recipe it more than likely should be Ice cream As I think the butterfat content would be over 3% which is the limit for sherbet.
Being a chef you would think he would know the difference between sorbet, sherbet and ice cream.
